When this wine last saw fresh air, I was 9 years old. Very drinkable. A touch tart. But remnants of fruit. What an experience. Blessed to be sharing this with my lovely wife while camping in the backyard.

Despite its Hotel Mountain heritage, this wine's best years are behind it. Still delicious, mind you, and always a treat to taste wine's born in the early days of my wine love.
